Mickey Has Lost His Voice, Minnie Has Lost Her Love...

Sadly, news I would like to not be reporting...

Wayne Allwine, the man that voices Mickey Mouse(and only the third man to do so) passed away yesterday from complications due to diabetes. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Russi Taylor(the voice of Minnie Mouse), his family and their friends.

Somewhere in heaven there are a trio of voices chatting together in a familiarly sweet, innocent tone...

I wonder if his wife will now step down. How can you continue being the voice of a character if your partner is no longer accompanying you? I think it'd feel weird for her to continue with a different actor.
